"They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old,age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them."

a) Two War Memorial's at Prescot Church, one in the church to those who had fallen during the First World War.b) The Rood Screen, has eight oak Panels, and are set into the back of the return stalls listing those commemorated.

Prescot Civic Memorial,
The second is outside the church on the south side.
Baroque in style, square inner column, rusticated blocks (Aberdeen granite) with attached marble half columns. Plain decoration, top base shield at foot (southside) below statues plinth - Prescot of coat of arms. Statue on top is of a Private soldier on guard, representing South Lancashire Regiment, holding a rifle across his body in both hands made of Aberdeen granite. The bayonet is missing from the the rifle.
Curiously the memorial was commissioned while the war continued. This was the first public statue in Prescot - a town when Liverpool was a village, and the absence was one Councillor Lhought should be remedied if he became chairman. The war and the deaths of Prescot men, with his own involvement in recruiting and fund raising, made it a fitting memorial. A huge crowd attended the unveiling ceremony, a company of King's Liverpool Regiment, detachment of South Lancashire Regiment and its band and that of the Parish church played. The gift and unveiling was recorded on one marble panel, the other three reserved for the names of the fallen. The War Memorial was made by T. Moody, Mossley Hill and Widnes.

In 1959 Mr. & Mrs. Case Presented the Organ Console Screen in memorial to their son Leslie who died on Active Service.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The name of John McCrae (1872-1918) may seem out of place in the distinguished company of World War I poets, but he is remembered for what is probably the single best-known and popular poem from the war, "In Flanders Fields." He was a Canadian physician and fought on the Western Front in 1914, but was then transferred to the medical corps and assigned to a hospital in France . He died of pneumonia while on active duty in 1918. His volume of poetry, In Flanders Fields and Other Poems , was published in 1919.
